King For A Day

Emma Campbell


Tom: Am

F
Dare me to jump off this Jersey bridge
C                                        G
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
                               D
Keep it up keep it up I take a look up to the sky
      F
I see red for the cancer, red for the wealthy,
C                                      G
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide.
           D
Everything red.


[Chorus]

F                Am               F
Please, won't you push me for the last time,
                          C
Lets scream until there's nothing left
           G                              Am
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore.
                                 F
The thought of you is no fucking fun.
                           C            G (One strum)
You want a martyr, I'll be one because enough's enough,
              Am
And now we're done.

Am
You told me, "think about it"
       F                                   C
Well I did, now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
                                           G
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want,
                                    Am
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor.


[Verse]

F                       C
The thing I think I love
                      G
Will surely bring me pain
                      D
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
F                           C
Three cheers for throwing up
                    G
Pubescent drama queen
                           D                       Am    F   C   G
You make me sick I make it worse by drinking late.


[Chorus]

 Am                               F
Please, won't you push me for the last time,
                          C
Lets scream until there's nothing left
           G                              Am
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore.
                                 F
The thought of you is no fucking fun.
                           C           G
You want a martyr, I'll be one because enough's enough,
              Am
And now we're done.

Am                                    F
You told me, "think about it", well I did
                                  C
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
                                           G
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
                                    Am
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor.

                               F
Imagine living like a king someday.
                                      C
A single night without a ghost in the walls.
                                       G
And if the bass shakes the earth underground.
                             Am
We'll start a new revolution now


[Bridge]

Am         F
Hail Mary, forgive me
C               G
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Am         C            G
Come at me, now this is war!


[Chorus]

Am                                    F
You told me, "think about it", well I did
                                  C
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
                                           G
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
                                    Am
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor.


[Outro]

                               F
Imagine living like a king someday.
                                      C
A single night without a ghost in the walls.
                                     G
We are the shadows screaming take us now
                                         Am
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground.
